AP Code YouTube Thumb

DTM Print have developed an amazing upgrade for their label applicator range that allows you to print directly onto your products as labels are being applied.

This “bolt on” upgrade includes a touchscreen tablet, mounts, encoder wheel and inkjet print head. Using durable inkjet ink you can add two lines of text to print anywhere on your product. You can adjust size and focus of the print to suit your product but it should be pretty much instantly dry to touch upon print.

Anyone needing to print batch codes or best before dates at the point of label application. Perhaps you have a generic label printed on mass. You can’t always pre print best before dates or unique data onto the labels but for regulation you do need this simple info on the product. Why not add this at the point the label is being applied to ensure you conform without adding any additional effort or time to the process.
